Overcome the #1 Biggest Diet Mistake with this Pureed Vegetable Soup Recipe

Do you know what the number one biggest diet mistake people make?

It’s not that they don’t eat enough protein or that they eat too much bread. Believe it or not, it’s not even that they eat too much sugar.

Is What They Are NOT Eating!

When people adopt a clean eating diet they start off by listing all of the foods that can’t have. For example: No processed foods, o fried foods, no sugar goodies, no more bagels and no soda. And so on.  It’s a great start to eliminate junk food and empty calories from your diet.

However, if you only changed 1 thing, you your body would benefit greatly! Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables you’re getting to optimize your health.

Research Shows More Fruits & Vegetables = Better Health & Longer Life

One of the most consistent findings in scientific literature is that as fruit and vegetable consumption increase in the diet, chronic disease (including obesity) decreases across the board.

How Much Is Enough?

The CDC, the National Cancer Institute, the American Heart Association, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture all recommend adults eat 7 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables every day for better health.

The average person is not eating anywhere near the amount of fruits and vegetables they should. 

On average, only 14 percent of American adults consume at least 2 servings of fruit and at least 3 servings of vegetables daily. The statistics are even worse for adolescents; on average, only 9.5 percent of American adolescents consume at least 2 servings of fruit and at least 3 servings of vegetables each day.

The trick to eating lots of vegetables is to make sure they are ready-made and tasty. Making a big pot of this pureed vegetable soup recipe is a simple solution to boosting your entire family’s vegetable consumption. You can even eat it for snack or breakfast! It is not at all uncommon for me to serve a big bowl of vegetable soup with avocado toast on a weekend morning.

How to Get in More Fruit and Veggies

With a little bit of planning and intentionality, getting in enough fruit and vegetables each day can actually be quite easy! And no, this doesn’t always include pureed soup recipes like this one.

#3: Prep Roasted Veggies to Use Throughout the Week

We’re all about that “Cook Once, Eat Twice” philosophy to really minimize our time in the kitchen. Because of this, we often start our week off by roasting a giant sheet pan of our favorite veggies (completely up to preference). From here, we simply store them in the fridge for a quick and easy way to add extra veggies to all our meals throughout the week.

How to Use Roasted Veggies

• Easy Vegetable Soups: You don’t always need a recipe for a tasty soup! Simply combine and heat broth, add leftover roasted veggies, prepped meat and cooked grains (if desired), and some spices for a simple nutritious soup! Make this a pureed soup recipe, or don’t!

• Top your Pizza: If you love pizza as much as we do, then roasted veggies are great for quick, additional toppings! Begin with a whole grain gluten-free crust, add a thin layer of sauce of your choice, then dump on the roasted vegetables!

• Make a Salad: Just like soup, salads are very simple to throw together without a recipe! Begin with fresh greens, topped with roasted vegetables, and your favorite additional toppings. With just a few general guidelines, you can make the perfect salad that is totally fail-proof!

• Breakfast Burrito: Start with a gluten-free wrap, add some eggs and meat (if desired), dump on the leftover roasted vegetables, and finish off with some salsa for the perfect breakfast burrito!

For a Richer, Creamy & More Satisfying Soup, Add….

Garbanzo beans!

Adding garbanzo beans to this or any other pureed vegetable soup is an easy way to give the recipe a richer, creamier texture. Adding beans will also make for a substantially more satisfying soup.

Pureed Soup Recipes

As the weather cools down, soups become a regular part of our weekly meal rotation! They’re just so simple and easy to make, and then store in the fridge for quick meals! We especially make lots of pureed soup recipes, as pouring this in a thermos is perfect for meals on the go.

Here are a few of our favorite pureed soup recipes:

• Carrot Soup: Carrot Soup is a great way to pack in nutrients, and such an easy meal to throw together at the beginning of the week, and enjoy for days!

• Roasted Butternut Squash Soup: Roasted Butternut Squash soup is an all-time favorite! Our recipe has a bit of red curry seasoning for a thai-inspired soup. I also used coconut milk instead of dairy for that reach creamy flavor.

• Thai Coconut Soup: Our Thai Coconut Soup, is made with tons of vegetables and organic coconut milk.

Helpful Kitchen Tool: Handstick Blender

A handstick blender is an inexpensive way to puree some of your favorite hot soups quickly and efficiently. We love the Cuisinart Stick Blender for our Pureed Vegetable Soup. For years, I have ladled hot soups into my blenders but this is truly the way to go!

For those of you with food allergies and food sensitivities, it’s helpful to know this recipe meets the following dietary restrictions:

Egg Free / Grain Free / Bean-Free Option (omit the garbanzo beans) / Gluten Free / Paleo Friendly / Vegan / Vegetarian / Nut Free/ Dairy Free
